Top 10-mile races in Cork for the Spring of 2025

Now that Spring is over, let's have a look at the top 10-milers in Cork so far for 2025.

After a flat period, the Mallow 10-mile road race in late March grew 23% to cement its position as the top 10-mile in Co Cork.

The Cobh 10-mile at the start of April continues to grow and is now in second place.

The Kinsale 10-mile had to deferred from February to April and it now drops back to third place.

The new race was the Midleton Greenway 10-mile at the start of March and posted a respectable 540 finishers for its first outing.

It'll be interesting to see if there is a growth in the 10-mile numbers in 2026 or are we now at a peak?

Update on the John Buckley Sports / Munster 10 Mile Spring Classic Series....
The guys in Mallow Athletic Club have been busy compiling all of the results of the 1st 3 races in the John Buckley Sports / Munster 10 Mile Spring Classic Series (Mallow, Dungarvan & Ballycotton) and they are now ready. I have generated a webpage from this info and it is now up on another website.

It looks as if a total of 177 runners have completed the first 3 races. Last year, 94 runners completed all 4 races so hopefully, most of the 177 will make the trip to Kilnaboy and the 100 mark will be broken this year.

The positions and times of the 177 runners can be seen on this webpage... http://homepage.eircom.net/~corkrunning/2008_Classic_Series_after_3_races.htm
